    I'm a 21 year old college student who will be purchasing his first brand new car this coming Monday (a 2011 Honda Fit Sport).

    Car sounds like it's dead for good

    Just spent three hours driving home from school for the weekend and my car broke down only about 2 miles from home. It started to sputter and wanted to die when I pressed on the accelerator. I pulled off into a parking lot and shut it down. I tried restarting it and it didn't want to start back...

    Anyone ever replaced upper ball joints on a C1500?

    I've got a coworker with a 1996 Chevrolet C1500 pickup and he wants me to help him replace the upper ball joints. I assumed they were press-in models but I was just looking at the repair guide on the autozone website and it says you have to drill out four rivets that hold the old ball joint to...

    Do i have to replace pads with rotors

    My rear brake pads were replaced only about 2 years ago and i'd say about 90% of the pad thickness remains, but the rotors have become warped. I was wondering if it's ok to replace just the rotors and keep using the same pads or do I have to replace it all at the same time? Thanks

    Valentine's Tools

    My girlfriend has offered to buy me a toolset of my choice for valentine's day but I didn't know what i wanted. My number one problem when working on my car (a 1989 Honda Accord with 220k miles) is the fear of breaking stuff as i'm taking things apart. (Had to replace the thermostat housing when...

    Mystery Vibrations

    For about the past year whenever I drive between 60-65 mph, it feels like i'm driving over a washboard. So I checked everything in the front suspension and sure enough both outer tie rods were worn out, so I replaced them and had the car realigned. But the vibrations continued. I took it to my...

    Amsoil's 409,000 mile OCI truck video

    I just watched this video on Youtube ( here ) and am trying to wrap my mind around how this works. I understand the basic part of how a bypass filter system works but still don't understand how a truck can go 409,000 miles without an oil change. Even on the SSO Amsoil only recommends a 35,000...

    Maxlife or Amsoil for '89 Accord?

    I have a 1989 Honda Accord SE-i with an Automatic Transmission. The last time I changed the fluid I replaced all of it with Honda ATF-Z1, but the transmission still shifts hard. It has 202,000 miles on it and have been trying to decide between Valvoline's Maxlife Dex/Merc and Amsoil's Universal...
